- Days 1-2
Dublin
Dublin's Trinity College area is best explored in the early morning before the crowds arrive. "The hotel was a convenient 20-minute walk from central Dublin's attractions." Book your Guinness Storehouse tickets ahead of time with flexible timing. You can take a quick taxi ride there from most downtown hotels. The St. Patrick's Cathedral area works well for afternoon walking tours.
- Day 3
Dublin to Liverpool
Take the 3.5-hour ferry to Wales in the morning. If you get seasick easily, bring motion sickness medication. You'll stop at Caernarfon Castle for photos of the exterior. In Liverpool for the evening: "The Royal Albert Dock area is beautiful for dinner, with many restaurants and harbor views. Easy walk back through Liverpool ONE shopping district."
- Day 4
Liverpool to London
Your English sightseeing includes Stratford-upon-Avon with 1-2 hours to see Shakespeare's birthplace area. You'll visit Oxford briefly but note that Christ Church College needs advance booking. The regular tour schedule doesn't include time for going inside. You'll get to London in the evening.
- Days 5-6
London
You'll see the main sites in Westminster and the City. A traveler suggests: "Book Thames River cruise and London Eye tickets in advance to avoid queues. The Windsor Castle optional excursion is absolutely worth it." You get a full free day for museums and shopping. Hotels in the Wembley area are outside central London but connect well by metro.
- Day 7
London to Paris
Leave in the morning by ferry rather than the Chunnel. Weather affects the exact route. You'll stop in historic Amiens briefly. "Food options are limited during the brief Amiens Cathedral visit - consider picking up snacks earlier." Arrive in Paris for the evening.
- Days 8-9
Paris
You get two full days to explore Paris. Visit Versailles early but book your specific morning time slot first. One visitor recommends: "Skip the line at the Louvre with the 50€ guided tour - our guide William made it completely worthwhile with entertaining stories and perfect highlight selection." Your tour includes going up to the Eiffel Tower's second floor. A Seine cruise in the evening helps you get your bearings.
- Day 10
Departure from Paris
9 Day England and France Itinerary, incl. London and Paris
This 9-day tour reveals 5 iconic sites: Westminster Abbey, Roman Baths, Windsor Castle, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Versailles Palace. Luxury coach travel, 8 breakfasts, authentic local dining, and expert guides enhance your England and France experience.
- Days 1-2
London and Bath: Land in London but keep your bags ready for Bath on day 2.
"The Tube is easy to navigate, even my 14-year-old granddaughter quickly caught on." Get to the Roman Baths before 9 AM to avoid crowds. Visit Stonehenge in the afternoon but bring warm clothes. The open plains get quite cold and windy.
- Days 3-4
London Exploration: Visit Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace first.
Take a quick 45-minute train ride to Windsor Castle. Book your Windsor tickets online to avoid waiting in line. Use your free day for the London Eye. Book a late afternoon ticket when lines are shorter and lighting is better for photos. "Live theatre in the West End was a highlight—don't miss it!"
- Day 5
London to Paris: This takes a full day with a 90-minute ferry ride from Dover and coach travel through France.
Bring motion sickness medicine if you need it. "Consider taking the Eurostar train instead—it's faster and more comfortable than the 8-hour coach journey."
- Days 6-7
Central Paris: Start at Notre Dame to get your bearings before exploring the Latin Quarter.
Visit Versailles early the next day. Get skip-the-line tickets and take the RER C train there. It's about 45 minutes and easier than coach parking. A 2-day Metro pass will save you money.
- Days 8-9
Paris Exploration: Spend time in Le Marais or Montmartre on your last full day.
"The sidewalk cafes were excellent—try the ones away from main tourist areas for better prices and atmosphere." Many Paris restaurants don't have air conditioning so dress for the weather in summer.

What people love about 10-day England and France tours
- London and Paris Explorer
Tour guide was great, Local experts were great, but the only thing that was not so great was the hotels. A lot of people in our group were older, and the tubs were high. Difficult to get in and out of. Please consider this when choosing hotels.
- European Triangle
Multiple groups from different countries changing daily or something semi daily having different tours, routes and countries to visit made a mess boarding the buses and checking in the hotels. Guide's bilingual communication with tourists was below average, information-minimal.
In one word? Incredible. I have so many memories and new friends. Fantastic way to see several places in a short amount of time. My only regret is not doing the longer portion of the tour... next time!
